Violent steering problem - SEAT Cupra.net

Jib · 24-07-2007, 14:55

Right ive got a very odd problem with my Mk2. When you drive with no throttle on, it drives in a perfect straight line. If however you put your foot slightly on the throttle, it pulls violently to the left and i have to hold the wheel off-centre to drive straight. Its highly annoying and very scary on the motorway!

Any ideas?

Under inflated tire?
Steering needs realigned?
Trackings off?
Somebodys stuck an anchor to your car?
